I was initially excited about this shot...the way the sun beamed through me like that, but I really wanted to capture the feeling of both my own power and freedom that being out on two wheels gave me. In this shot I really could be doing anything apart from riding a bike...straightening out a length of twisted spagehetti, pinning two attackers down( whilst a passer by calls the police), practicing my butterfly stroke.. or rolling out a giant sheet of pastry for my exciting record attempt at ' The World's Largest Jam Tart'.

All true - but to me the shot
speaks of heat, perspiration
and exhaustion. Lawrence

This is a great shot, as rick says it does not matter what you are actually doing in the shot, it's more what the viewer perceives you to be doing. I like this shot a lot, the bonus (or meant) is you have this beautiful sun flare from under your arm, very well done , the flare could easily have washed out the entire shot.

straightening out a length of twisted spaghetti???
and yes, if you would pin down the two attackers, i would call the police.
it's a fantastically cool shot. usually when i get a cool sun shot like this, it's an accident.

if you stare at the sun for long enough you actually travel back in time to the 1970s
but don't worry - sosij will be there to greet you - she cycled

'pinning two attackers down( whilst a passer by calls the police)'
lol! I love this idea!! You have one hand on each head and they are writhing around like eels and the beam of sunlight is actually the copper's torch, oooo errrrrrr
